“…A variety of surgical options for involutional entropion exist, and there is no established standard criteria. For the involutional entropion correction surgery, recurrence is the most critical complication [ 11 , 12 ]. An ideally effective technique should be able to correct all causative factors while minimizing the recurrence rate.…”

Background To evaluate a modified technique for involutional entropion correction in a retrospective cohort study. Methods The patients with involutional entropion eyelid were corrected by tightening the pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle and excising the excess skin of the lower eyelid. The patients received correction surgery from April 2013 to March 2019 were followed up for more than 6 months postoperatively. The outcome measures included the complications and the recurrence rates. Results Total 152 patients (169 eyes) were included. The mean follow-up period was 29.6 months (range: 6–36 months). Postoperative ectropion (over-correction) was observed in 1 patient with 1 eyelid (0.59%); yet, no further surgery was needed for this patient. Recurrence of entropion was found in 1 patient (0.59%). The patient with recurrent entropion received repeated surgery with the same method and achieved a good eyelid position. Conclusions This study demonstrated that tightening the pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle and excising the excess skin of the lower eyelid could be an effective surgical method to correct lower eyelid involutional entropion. This method is technically easy with a low recurrence rate and not associated with significant complications in Asians.
